Industry:Semiconductors
A section from an object file that is linked into an executable module.
Industry:Semiconductors
A semiconductor that turns analog signals— such as sound or light—into digital signals, which are discrete or discontinuous electrical impulses, so that they can be manipulated.
Industry:Semiconductors
A set of instructions written to perform a task; a computer program or part of a program.
Industry:Semiconductors
A signal sent by hardware or software to a processor requesting attention. An interrupt tells the processor to suspend its current operation, save the current task status, and perform a particular set of instructions.
Interrupts communicate with the operating system and prioritize tasks to be performed.
Industry:Semiconductors
A fixed or invariable value or data item that can be used as an operand.
Industry:Semiconductors
A symbol representing a quantity that can assume any of a set of values.
Industry:Semiconductors
A symbol that begins in column 1 of an assembler source statement and corresponds to the address of that statement. A label is the only assembler statement that can begin in column 1.
Industry:Semiconductors
A symbol that is either 1) defined in the current module and accessed in another or 2) accessed in the current module but defined in another.
